Thc day was bitter cold-the truck coveted (with snow, and thc eastward bound crain, of, [course, behind tune. Tho waiting tuen pas | [seagers stamped mt their impatience upon the cheerless, wind swept platform, and wo men huddled around thc stove or endeavored to peep around thc dirty depot windows. Conspicuous among these might have been seen thc pretty face of June Tracy. She was young, anxious and unaccustomed to travel ling alone ; but having received an invitation? from an old bachelor uncle and maiden auntE who lived in luxurious selfishness alone, htul,H after much urging upon the part of hors mother, (who lind ulready had visions of JuneT being heir to their vast wealth,) consented to make the visit. Tho letter giving thc invita tion contained minute directions bow she was to reach the city, and informed her that j a carriage would be wuiting at tho New York side of the ferry upon a specified evening, un less they were notified to thc contrary. June hud early and always impressed upon* her tho primness and propriety of Aunt Pru-S der^o Griswold, who was fifty and unmarried,I and the vast wealth and parsimony of Unclog Nathan, and sat with many forebodings oil discomfort wutoliing for tho train, nod wosi half tempted to lot it go on without her, when* it ot last d ished up to thc platform. But tho cry of "ubonrd" decided the matter, and she followed the rushing throng, found horsolf bustled into a seat with scarcely any volition upon her part and was whirled rapidly away toward her unknown nnd dreaded relations. | A long and weary ride brought her to tilda depot, and ns she was preparing to loavo thc" cars, a mothorly old lady odvised her to muf g (le up her oars or she "would oortoinly freeze^ them in that littlo, senseless hat." Shea smiled in reply, but wound a soft, wh!to wool! cloud about her bead so os to lcovo nothing! visible but o pair of bright eyes, thc tip of ni pretty nose, and red, ripe lips, and followed^ with a palpitating heart through the noiso; and confusion, and shunned tho vulgar gnzoi of tho men, glad indeed when the stormy], river was passed. "A young ludy there for tho Griswald cur-] ringe?" shouted a man so near lier curs as to almost, deafen bur. "Yes j I nm tho ono," she faltered in re ply, feeling as if sho had suddenly found a friend amidst thc Bedlam of jostling, fighting and importuning. "This wny, if you plooso, Miss." In a moment she was lcd through tho' 'crowd, seated upon tho soft cushions of on elegant carriage, and was being driven rapidly through th? brilliantly lighted 8trcets; half-j [dazzled by thc unaccustomed glitter and? splendor. At length it st>ppod before a brown stone"! front; the door was opened, n sorvant assisted j her to alight, she wnlkcd up tho broad stcps^ fahd instantly was clasped in thc arms of a^ 'gentleman, who rained warm kisses upon her! lips-gave her a thousand welcomes, called: her pct names, impctously lifted her in his* strong anns, carried her into thc cozy recep tion room, placed her in an arm chair before] ^a blueing anthracite fire, and bogan to relievo^ ?her of thc cumbersome wrappings. Man lion, ho torc off tho cloud, bringing wdthj Kit tho little velvet jockey, and loosening tho ?fastenings of her hair, caused it to fall in n ymnss of lovely golden ripple? over her shoul ders. j "Whotl" he exclaimed, starting back and crushing the jaunty little bat in his hands then gazing speechless nt thc beautiful girl who sat completely stupcllcd by thc unex ! pectcd warmth of her reception, and wonder lng where were her curmudgeon of an uncle land prim aunt she had expected to sec-won "dering if it could possibly bc ho, and she ven tured to call him Uueie Nathan and asked' for Aunt Prudence. "Undo Nathan ? Aunt Pru - ibo deuce !j There is .?unie mistake hero. 1 know ol' no] such persons as you name " ">?Gt know them '( Is this not their house VI she asked, looking anxiously around. "It is certainly not. Until I so rudely re moved your wrappings-lor which T beg par-?> don-I thought it was my sister liva whom Ia am expecting borne from boarding school. Thc mistake is natural urider thc circum stances." 1 "Is not this thc house of Nathan Gris-^ IWitld ?" she asked again, rising tremblingly, ?? laud with face blanched even to thc hps. \ "NJ, Miss. My name is Buswell, und lil Jam tuasti r herc." y jj It flashed upon her in an instant that thor! Esoinowhut similarity of names bad caused boj ito miikc thc mistake, and glancing up at t.be? dark ?md handsome face of bim whr^-o Kisses were still huming upon hor l:rs? ',or own l)e l oamescavlet, and covering >t with her pretty\ white hands, she s:"?? hack in thc chair andg gi Hirst into tcai". Fred buswell puckered up his mouth and) wo?c tlirough tho motions of an imaginary whistle. "Poor thing!" bethought. "By Jove! but sho is handsome ; it is no wonder she is frightened to receive such bear em braces from an cutirc stranger when she ex pected to have been coolly welcomed hy somofi uitiquated uncle." But ho could not endure thc torture of n lovely woman's tears, and sog clearing his throat, said aloud : "Do not bc alarmed, Miss. I regret as much :is poo possibly can that I was so hasty in my conclusions !" Tho wretch, when ho Bwus luxuriating upon thc kisses he had stolcul and was longing for move ! Up flumed tho color between thc delicate White fingers and thc tears fell even fasto than before. Ile saw that ho was making matters worse, and with n mental and not overrefined expletive, ho stopped short, walk B ed to the other sido of thc room, rang the bell, ?nd directed thc cari iago to be instantly sent back to tho depot to seo if Miss liva was not waiting there. Then he resumed his place upon tho hoarth-rug, resting his elbow upon tho mantel, and continued : "I entreat you, Miss, not to feel so badly over n slight mistake, and ono to which any one was liable. It is moro laughable than ?otherwise As soon as thc carriage returns. I will seo that you arc taken safely to your friends " "I thank you, sir," she replied, slowly rc. moving her hands and wip'ng away thc tears ; "but if you do not know who they arc, how shall I bo ublc to find them ? 1 know only that my Uncle's name is Nathan Criswald and that lie lives in University Placo. His car ringo was to meet mc nt thc depot, and I un dcrstuod tho coachman to say 'Gris wu ld,' but ho was so muffled, and tn such n hurry, I hat I lui'' no time to question." A vigorous tinging at thc door bell, and be excused himself for a moment and stepped Milito tho hull to meet his sister. Poor .lune "could hoar their voices-the sister playfully scolding because, she lind been so long kept waiting in tho horrid depot until she was al most frozen, and then had to ride in a lum bering old hack, and closed by standing on tiptoe, and giving him a sisterly kiss. June could see this through tho hnlf-opon door mid felt like a guilty usurper as tim lit tle lady continued to pour forth her com plaints. I "Why, Fred, you ar'n't a hit glad to seo Eino. I expected to bc hugged and kissed out Rof brcntb, as usual, and I moot with ns formal ^n reception ns if you.woro my grandfather-?' . or husband 1" And her laugh rang out ns j clear (is thc notos of n sil vor boll. But it was suddenly ont short. Sho hud j^followcd her brother, into tho rcooptio.u room, 1 aud started baok in astonishment ut tiio bcau-Q tiful stranaer who sut thcro with streamings! ?hair and watery eyes. Tho timid, shrinkinga jinan ncr iucroascd tho loveliness of Juno, anda ,thc impulsivoTSvo stood for o luomont'in mutoS admiration, end then gnsped'out: "Who is sbo, Fred?" j "This is M?6S-?jV bc begun. "Tracy," o'lggcstod'June. "Miss lf^'^, who, by a stupid blunder ofg itho coaching waft brought boro in 3'our place.| That is why you wcro kept waiting at tho* 'horrid depot.' " p "Well, l am glad sho happened to fall iutoS tho hands of a goiitloman," replied liva look-s fing up proudly and lovingly at her brother. R j She welcomed her unexpected guest mosts ?cordially-made hor fool instantly at home-| .doctored that she would keep her until morn I lng -that until then nothing shouli bc donos to ascertain where Mr. Griswuld lived, andi and in thc cud triumphed, and took her toa hor own bright room, that she might arrange! hor hair. In thc company of Eva, June soou forgot her vexation, and tho late dinner and the 'evening passed pleasantly-had almost for. [gotten her singular entrance into thc family Hut now and then a smile would curl tho dark moustache of Fred Buswell as bc thought of his futiiiy mistake, and how agreeably it jh id turned out ; 'and thc tell-tale blushed jdeopoucd Upon June's chock as she caught .thc expression of his eyes, and revealed that she had nof. forget his over warm manner of 'greeting. j To one acquainted with the city and its di [rectories, tile finding of tho uncle's house, was [not a diffioult task, and after breakfast both jl-jva and her brother escorted hor thither, 'promised ti? call soon, and they separated, mutually pl -used. j Uncle NutHon received her kindly, but in a very different manner from Fred Buswell. [Io was tall, gaunt, gri?i ; wore old fashioned clothes, and 11 hugo pointed shirt collai, that [Constantly threatened to amputate his cars ?With ll ro^V-.'OlU I, t. : ??Ith iud t:. . .,. ... i , iv? caro of his sister, who fitted her name of Pru dence perfectly, and was an exact counterpart of himself, clothed in petticoats. "My dear child," she exclaimed, holding up her hands, in holy horror, "what a terriU bio risk you ran in taking thc wrong carriage Tho gentleman who called upon us (his morn ing explained thc matter, and I never was so much shocked in all my life " "Mr. Buswell is a gentleman," returned Juno, seeing that some reply was expected. "Well !-hem !-yes, [ suppose so. But como up stairs now and take off*your tilings. To think of your being alone with a strange young man 1 I know I should have fainted." Juno blessed her stars that her aunt knew nothing of what had really transpired-Doth ing save that a mistako had boen made j noth ing of the warm embrace and kisses ; and mentally thanked Fred Buswell for his rcti oonoo "This is your room, my dear. When you have nrraogod your toilet, your uncle and 1 will bc happy to sec you in tho sitting room.' Everything boro tho marks of wealth, bm was as antiquated ns its mistress. Thc heavy tall-post, oldfashioncd iron bedstead, with it, quaint canopy und curtains, must have bo longed to tho great grandfather of Miss Pru dence lt contrasted grimly with thc prctt; French one she had occupied with Eva Bus well ; so, in fact, did everything. But th room was large and pleasant; everything wa neut and arranged for comfort, and June soo became At ease and happy. At least she woul have been if Aunt Prudence lind not so froze thc Buswolls when they called, that thor was little danger of their attempting to rt pent it. Tho truth was, tho old maid distrusto the good-looking Prod. Shs could not bi own to herself that ho was a gentleman, i ovcry respect, but, ns she hud concluded I adopt June, sho was not going to havo an horrid man around to pursundo hor into foi) ishly getting married, whoo sho intended lu to bc the comfort and nurso of her dcoliuiii years. Ilcnoeforth Juno, with nil hor lif and youth, and loveliness, was to bo a so of prisoner-.never going out, save to rido i the old barouaho of tho Griswold* when tl j weather was plo usant, with tho stern, ycllo fnoo of Miss Prudence, looking ol?jr ntl HK.ro ugly hy contrast with tho bright, dov eyed, golden haired girl who oocompnnii ihor. OcO'islOnally they tuet liva Buswc land her brother dashing nloni; in their nc ipbmton, surrounded by a party of friend .and June turned sighing, und with diflicill [keeping back tho tears. But sho dared n ?givo expression to her thoughts. I "Tho Buswolls aro nothing to you, n rohild-never cnn be," snid Aunt Prudcnc Rwhon they chanced to bo discoursing ono di [upon the man ?or of her coming. "They d [only what was proper under thc circumstance [just what your Unelo Nathan and I wou m???KamK??Kamam??tmtmm?aBmtaa??S???Kamtmmmmaa Jiuvo dono; but they uro frivolous, fashion jUblo people, aud thc sooner you ceaso to even recoguis?o them thc better." [ June thought, with a smilo, of how Uncle |Nuthan would look and feel hugging and gissing a blooming girl like herself. But sho only gave another sigh, thought of what might have been, and answerod? "They were vory kiud, aunt." "Yes, I know, and your unolo and I wrote thom a formal letter of thanks. That balanc ed tho obligation." It was thc last time thc subject was men tioned bot ween them, and at leugth they pas sod each other as almost strangers. Not that liva and her brother did so until they found it impossible to keep up thc acquaintuuoo. They roasoucd correctly that such a stato of affairs was not according to tho wishes of Juno, |to whom they had talion a great fancy, es pecially Fred. "The deuce tako that old ogress of on jaunt," he muttered, as he saw June passing, looking even moro lovely than on thc night of their first mectiug. "I wish the house would take fire, or thc horses run away and upset thom, and sho nearly break her neck, or something happen so that I could guin thc entree of thc house." He wouldn't have confessed, even to him self, that he had fallcu in love with tho girl ut first sight. No, nothing of the* kind. Ile only pitied her on account of her close con finement, when, like other jrirls of her agc and beauty, she ougbt to haye been enjoying lifo, as a bird docs sunshine aud liberty to flit among flowers. But try ns he would to think of sonio plan of visiting her, ho could determino on nothing, und was about to give up in despair when accident came to his rc lief. In returning homo ono cvantng from a ride, ho saw a crowd gathered in front of the door, and upon inquiry was told that au old man had fallen from a stroke. Ono glanoe rcvoalcd to him who thc man was, and ho in stantly ordered him to bc carried into the hntiflA nnil rt?Boatr>bprl his sister for Prudence Griswold and hor niece. They carno. Physi cians were called, but all in vain. Natio n Griswald ucvor roused from his sleep-wi s never moved un till he was taken to his last earthly resting place. Dark days followed. Thc blow was a ter riblc ono to his sister. He had been to her as husband, children, broth cr, everything.-j All her love was centred in him, and sho was completely prostrated. She could not endure tho thought of returning to thc louoly house. "It is homo no longer," hbo suid, "now that Nathan is gone." Fred Buswell pitied her suffering, and did all that a son could have done to relieve them. Ile attended to all her busincss> would not listen to her leaving thc house un til everything had been arranged to her satisfac tion, and then ho und Eva accompanied her and June to a little cottugo he had hired and soon fur Ulah ed fur her upon thc banks of the river where she had boon born. "Yrou will not leavo nie ?" said thc old lady, whose entire character appeared to have changed since thc death of her brother. "I have not long to stay on earth, and poor June, what will become of her when I am gone ?" She glanced up quickly, saw thc eyes of those she had mentioned meet, understood their mooning, and wus satisfied. All through tho sumuior months she lingered, tended by her affectionate nicoo, and whet] tho loaves began to fudo and fall, sho died. During thc last few weeks of her lifo Ev? Buswell took up bei abode at tho cottage, and cheered June in tho durk trying hours. Anti when nt last Aunt Prudence found she was ?dying, she looked from the grave fuco of Fred Buswell to the weeping Juno, and endeavored to speak, but tho palsied tongue refused tc articulate a word. Thon sho took June's hand and placed it in that of her lover, who pressed it to his lips, and, stooping, breathed into bet dull car his thanks. "I will tenderly cherish and caro for hci while I live," he said, wiping his oyes Thus they wero betrothed in tho solemn presence of death, and when the days of [mourning woro passed for June-when thc air was freshet aud sweetest, and thc flowers 'tho brightest-in that month for which she was named, Juno,, sho became his wifo. [They live in tho old Griswald mansion, ro 'modeled and refitted to suit tho timos mid their tasto, nnd tho happy youug wifo does ? nut regret that sho made tho embarrassing .mistuko that gained her so good a husband, fl??T Fun is worth more than physio, und wlic over invonts or discovers a now souroo ol supply, deserves tho unmo of a publio bono 'faotor. i jfcjT Tho population of Massachusetts ii ,f',418,055.

Lees \ RICHMOND, October 12.-Tho Dispatch has just received t following telegram from .Staunton : A messenger arrived here last night from Lexington, bringing tho informa tion that Gen. Lee is much worse, and hi3 physicians report his disenso as having OB sumed a more serious form, and his friends arc^alurmcd at bis condition. LEXINGTON, VA , October 12-7 A. M; via M il boro', Va., 12 M.-Symptoms of au unfavorable character have manifested them selves in tho disease of Gcncrol Lee, within thc past two days. His condition is not very encouraging-indeed, it begins to excito tho grave apprehension of his friend and physi cian. Thc members of his family at a dis gtanco have becu sunynoned to Iiis bed. 10 A. M.-General Robert E. Lee-the Christian gentlemen, and hero of a hundred battles-breathed his last, at thirty minutes past 9 o'clock, this morning, of congestion of tho brain. His ago was sixty-three years eight months and twenty-three days. RICHMOND, VA., October 12.-Places of business arc closed, bells arc tolling, and thc whole community is thrown into the deep est grief in consequence of thc death of Gen. Loo. - -*. tm MODERN FIRE ARMS.-Lieut. Col Chcs jncy, ono of thc acutest military critics of tho (present day, and author of a work entitled "The Military Resources of France and Prus sia," has recently advanced tho argument that tho principles of tactics and strategy aro affected very slightly by tho modern improved weapons. All tho effect that the breech loaders and arms of precision produce, he says, is to dispeuso with tho old fashioned Held manoeuvres, now impracticable in tho faoo ?of thc enemy, in consequence of the groator range and accuracy of the new arms. Masses jof troops, bo argues, aro as strong as ever, and Itho bayonet charge is still more decisivo than volleys from tho needle gun aud thc cbasso jpot rifle. Campaigns, however, must now bo 'graps increase the facility of movitig troops. Tho main elements of success' as in tho cam paigns of Napoleon I, still consists in conceal ing men until tho last moment, and then in ^rapidly concentrating overwhelming numbers. (These principles, Colonel Chesney say, hnvo khave been neglected by tho French, and put [in practice by thc Prussian Generals. SHOCKING; TREATMENT OF CUBAN LA ?DIES.-An accouutof thc shocking treatment [of Cuban ladies by thc Spaniards in Havana "appears in our correspondence from that city. I On thc 2!ld ult, twenty prisoners, all womott and children, reached Havana by railway, and were h*d from thc depot to thc fema?o prison under guard, and all tied, even chil dren only live and six years old being tightly pinioned by tho arms. At tho head of tho sad procession marched two handsome young ladies of eighteen years, both hand culled. |Onc was thc daughter in law of President iCcspedes, thc other the daughter of General [ Figucrcno, recently garroted nt Santiago. Thc ladies were all members of tho best fam ilies in the island. As these unfortunato creatures passed through thc streets, tho Spanish mob jeered and threatened tbem> land in some instances attempted violence'. iSuch outrages ns these ought to arouse tho 'indignation of thc civilized world. [Ar. Y. Sun. ANOTHER ECCLESIASTIC RULER DE? [THRONED.-lingham Young, like Pope Pius> [hos been compelled to surrender his temporal [sovereignty. A lato order of tho United ' States commnndcr in Utah forbids thc drilling [of Mormon militia nnd demands thc surren* f der of nil arms and munitions, whether tho [property of tho Territory or of Ihe United [States. The United States District Judgo [has also declared all courts of the Territory ?United States Court3, and tho United States Marshal to bo tho ministerial officer of tho saino. These measures bring all of Brigham's ipowevs, other then spiritual, to n speedy end> 'provided bc should not make war upon them |und snceed in tbo strugglo, wbioh is not ?likely. Upon thc whole, tho Mormnns may make up their minds never to hnvo pcaoo un* \t\\ they think and pray ns tho Puritans do. WHO ARE HAPPY.-Lord Byron said : [?Tho Mechanics and working mon who eau 5maintain their families, arc, in my opinion, f tho hnppiost body of mon. Poverty is wretch edness, but ovon povorty is, perhaps, to bo ^preferred io the heartless, unmeaning dissipa tion of high onlcr.' Another author, says : L'I havo no propensity to envy uuy ono, least of all tho rich and great; but, if disposed ?to this weakness, tho subject of my weakness I would bo a healthy young mon, in full posses sion of bis strength and fooultics, going forth i'm tho morning to work for bis wifo and chil dren, or bring them home his1 wages at night.'
